Opening Up About Our TTC Journey

Finally opening up about our TTC journey with you guys! We have been on this journey for the past 1-2 years, and TTC is not for the faint of heart. It can be exhausting dealing with infertility struggles, but just know its so common (unfortunately) and so many people can relate to you. Just wanted to open up the conversation about TTC to help others feel less alone and let you in on our life. I'm excited to catch up with you guys again I've been pretty MIA the past couple years!

Aww I found you when researching coffee trailers 1yr ago! We had our first in ‘04 (yes I’m old). 12yrs of infertility struggles after that. We now have a 19 and 4yr old. The 19yr old is out there working in Stehekin Wa, and we live in Tx- The journey will challenge so much- the comments people make will blow your mind! Do NOT let doctors dismiss you “because you are still young”. Keep talking about it, and I wish you peace and joy in the journey! You are not alone.

Aw glad you got your babies! Thank you 😊

Taylor, I've been here since What Baristas Hate! My heart is with you guys. It is definitely exhausting and heartbreaking at times. It's hard to be happy for other people even when you want to be. Ttc was the hardest year and a half of my life. Especially after a loss. Try to remain hopeful. ❤️ thanks for sharing your story. It's good to see you. I feel like I've grown up with you on KZbin!

[@tayterrell]

aw an OG follower! Thank you, appeciate the support :)

[@kyleejavier1648]

I’ve been following you on here since the days you went to visit G in Texas! I’m praying for both of you during this time, and hope everything goes as planned for the two of you. ❤

Happy to be back!

All of your feelings are valid. It does happen that it takes some people years to have a baby, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait to seek help or feel like you have to suffer through TTC without any answers. I wish I would’ve reached out for help much sooner than we did. I’ve learned through our own journey that there often times are no words to make it sting less when you see a negative test month after month. We had many friends and relatives tell us to just relax or to trust that it’ll happen and honestly those words probably hurt the most. We leaned on our pastor a lot for comfort because the hardest part for us was feeling frustrated that we had built our home and our marriage in preparation for a baby that wasn’t coming. We spent a lot of time praying and asking why and feeling mad at God. It’s sort of a grieving process. You have to grieve the fact that the life you thought you’d have isn’t happening on your timeline. It’s hard to accept that. We had our rainbow baby after three years of infertility and losses. We used a drug similar to Clomid called Letrozole and once we found the right dose, I was pregnant right away. I wish I had asked for help sooner instead of trying to be patient all those years. Hang in there, you are not alone ❤

[@tayterrell]

Thanks for sharing your story ❤️ and thank you

[@angieencina2376]

3 miscarriages in one year (last year). Now second to 3 mo the trying and I cry every month I get that negative. I send your family love and healing energy. It's such a Rollercoaster trying to be grateful and then happy for others getting pregnant. Sigh my heart is with you. Gratitude is key for me in this journey. And trust the last thing I want to hear is just relax and it will happen. Yeah I'm 41 just don't even lol

[@tayterrell]

I’m sorry to hear you’ve experienced that 😞

[@921ILoveU]

Thank you SO much for sharing this.. we’ve being trying for 5 months and it can be so sad and frustrating not understanding why we’re not pregnant yet🥺

[@tayterrell]

I feel you!

Of course!

[@kyla8718]

You aren't alone girl I totally get you and feel for you!! I been trying for 3 years in April and had nothing yet apart from a fale positive the second year but yeah I wasn't even pregnant just had vaginitis lol I laugh now but it was really hard to get Ober because I was at the Dr's office at 21 so excited thinking this was it at 10 months of trying little did I know it was false and I'd be trying for 3 years. I can't afford ivf so I'm just praying it happens naturally, I also ovulate like normal just a day early

[@tayterrell]

I’m sorry girl 😞 praying it happens for you soon

[@jennyaguilar3448]

Hey Taylor, I’ve been following you for a while now lol..and I’m so happy that your back and your content is expanding again. As soon as I saw the title of your video I just had to “watch”. My fiancé and I were TTC for almost a year and we finally got pregnant. I’m currently 6 weeks and 5 days. ❤ trust me when I say that I can relate to your story. Every month I felt disappointed on myself and started to question what was wrong with me? But on my first ultrasound I was diagnosed with a “bicornuate uterus”. You can look it up and get familiar with the term. It doesn’t hurt to get your uterus checked for your own sake of mind. Thank you for sharing and I’m sending you all the baby dust ❤

[@tayterrell]

Aw congratulations! And thank you 😊 I’m sure we will get some answers soon

[@askhal685]

Recently a love one had a miscarriage and hit her hard. About Pregnancy's I have very little to add as having fathered a few children all older now than you. When I was 17, I was on an American Youth Hostels Bicycle trip. I met my first love where we tented together that summer. By the time I got home I was terrified she was pregnant no matter how careful I was. Turns out she was not , and "due to the amount of physical activity cycling", at 18 she did not conceive.

[@amberjones1615]

You might already know this but you can get preliminary testing through your ob/gyn 3 day and 21 day bloods and a semen analysis through meetfellow. Also an hsg to make sure tubes are open, you can get referred by your ob/gyn it's considered a diagnostic test. There are a lot of things you can get done through your ob/gyn that can be covered by insurance because their not considered fertility treatments. Fertility clinics charge way more for those tests. Been ttc over 3 years so I understand. Hope you get some answers 🙏

[@tayterrell]

Thank you! And I’m sorry to hear that 😞 hope you get your baby soon

[@sarah29880]

Totally get it. I am 35 and I tried for 6 months, and we were trying to rush things because of my age and other factors. It took 6 months and it happened the month after I took fertility tea which this helped CM for me and sex drive. But those 6 months were very disappointing. I don’t think it’s bad to be upset when others are pregnant just because you want it so bad. It makes sense. I think you opening up helps a lot of people. I guess what you were saying just trying a bunch of different diets or supplements or whatever just to experiment wouldn’t hurt and you might find that one thing you were missing. When it happens it definitely happens though and it’s journey like no other. Hoping it happens for you very very very soon 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤

[@GraceWanjakaranja]

@sarah just saw this. Do you mind sharing which fertility tea you took or you can recommend

[@sarah29880]

@@GraceWanjakaranja sure the brand is moontime tea and the flavor was raspberry! It was very tasting and def could tell a difference in CM/sex drive. I’m so grateful I got pregnant that month

[@sarah29880]

It’s on Amazon if you are in the US

[@GraceWanjakaranja]

[@abbie8437]

I missed this content so much. Praying for you. I experienced miscarriages during our fertility journey. I feel like I spent a lot of time feeling down about not having a baby so you’re positive outlook is awesome! Praying for you during this time.

[@tayterrell]

I’m sorry to hear you experienced that! Thank you 😊

[@Mamaforher]

I resignate with you im 34 and in the last 13 years I have only had 1 positi e test and have a 9 year old. Yes I don't have miscarriages but I also never see the line. I just personally tell people when they ask questions they should talk to God about it lol. Maybr that's deflection but it's sooo hard. I'm blessed to have my 9 year old yes but imagine not taking birth control since she was born and actively trying with fertility help. It just is hard sometimes. Other times I feel more at peace with it. Praying for your journey. I believe knowledge is power and gives you more of an understanding so go to the doctor and get checked then do what you want with that information. We were told we were only candidates for a specific IVF and we will not be doing that and that is okay.

[@tayterrell]

I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing that I know it can be tough 💔

[@olgamartinezlopez5902]

I have been you. This is what happened to me exactly. I hated when everyone told me just relax and it will happen, and that was the WRONG thing to say. Please go to the doctor. In my case it turned out to be an endometrial polyp that was found on ultrasound as part of my infertility workup five days after my first Drs appointment. It was removed via hysteroscopy a month and a half later and I got pregnant that same month. I understand what you're going through, it is so hard. Please go get seen by a doctor. They can help

[@tayterrell]

100%! We’ve been looking into one

[@bridget3210]

Hi Taylor! There is a girl on here named Liza Adele, she opened up a lot through TTC & her fertility journeys with each of her children. She couldn’t conceive naturally but once getting on clomid, she ended up pregnant! A old co worker of mine also needed clomid to help conceive. Thank you for opening up about this! It can be so hard sharing such vulnerable parts of life & this will make many women not feel alone in the TTC journey❤️

[@tayterrell]

Thank you! 😊

[@bayleivorce]

Currently at the two year mark. Very sick of people commenting on my kidless life. Good luck to everyone!

[@tayterrell]

We’re at a little over two years as well. Sorry to hear you’re experiencing that but you’re not alone!

[@motherinwaiting2362]

You are not alone. I got married young like you did. Kids were not on our mind for for the first few years. We had a long road with infertility i was diagnosed with endometriosis and our only option was IVF. We used all our savings to do 2 rounds of IVF but we were blessed with twins and I would do it all again. Gods timing is absolutely perfect, it took us 10 years but it was the perfect time for us. All the tears , pain, and disappointment was not unnoticed. I was blessed more than I could ever ask for. Take this time to really enjoy being a wife and enjoying the hobbies you have. Being a mother is so worth it but the hardest thing you will ever do. Now that I am on the other side of infertility I have such an understanding, that not many people get. Welcome to the fertility warrior club wear your crown proudly 🍍

We lost our baby boy at 16 week’s pregnant in 2017. We have been wanting to get pregnant and doing it during ovulation…SINCE then. It’s rough. We don’t always get what we pray for. Unfortunately 😢❤ BTW Selina is my daughter. Rob and I haven’t had a kid together. 🙁 It is normal to feel angry when others post announcements or pregnancy belly updates 😒😅 it’s okaaayy haha 😂
